Hi,
Apparently, it is better for people to focus on low emotional issues rather than than high emotional issues. That is my read, anyway.
It is better to disengage when things get hard.
I think that we can do that some of the time. We can modulate ourselves when things are going well with the mood and the situation and the meds. Otherwise, all bets are off and we pay attention to stuff that is upsetting to us.
